Kaesee Bourne, a fish and wildlife biologist, faced job instability after the Trump administration initiated mass firings through the Office of Personnel Management. Despite assurances from superiors that recent dismissals were not performance-related, Bourne sensed a deliberate campaign to induce stress among employees. Her observation that the administration appeared to thrive on creating chaos speaks to broader concerns about morale within federal agencies. Ultimately, her termination was part of a wave affecting many newly hired staff, leading to questions about job security and governmental objectives.
"I've been hearing that the goal of the new administration was to make people feel stressed out and just make them feel the chaos; it definitely worked."
"They had expressed that we were all stellar employees, that we got our work done, that they were proud of us, and that this was not something that they chose to do."
